The generalized quantum master equation (GQME) approach provides a rigorous framework for deriving the exact equation of motion for any subset of electronic reduced density matrix elements (e.g., the diagonal elements). In the context of electronic dynamics, the memory kernel and inhomogeneous term of the GQME introduce the implicit coupling to nuclear motion and dynamics of electronic density matrix elements that are projected out (e.g., the off-diagonal elements), allowing for efficient quantum dynamics simulations. Here, we focus on benchmark quantum simulations of electronic dynamics in a spin-boson model system described by various types of GQMEs. Exact memory kernels and inhomogeneous terms are obtained from short-time quantum-mechanically exact tensor-train thermo-field dynamics (TT-TFD) simulations and are compared with those obtained from an approximate linearized semiclassical method, allowing for assessment of the accuracy of these approximate memory kernels and inhomogeneous terms. Moreover, we have analyzed the computational cost of the full and reduced-dimensionality GQMEs. The scaling of the computational cost is dependent on several factors, sometimes with opposite scaling trends. The TT-TFD memory kernels can provide insights on the main sources of inaccuracies of GQME approaches when combined with approximate input methods and pave the road for the development of quantum circuits that implement GQMEs on digital quantum computers.
